I started to come this location now because it's way closer to my house than the Santee location. I've been here several times now, but they just moved last week across the parking lot. So they're in the same shopping center but now they're upstairs just above the Mission Federal Credit Union. The office is a little smaller and they no longer have the little tranquility waiting rooms, which is a bummer. I've used a few different therapists and all great. My new favorite is Elizabeth. She's newer to Massage Envy, but has a lot of experience in massage therapy. She's awesome. Really pays attention to target areas. Nice strong pressure. I'm looking forward to continue having a membership at this new location. read more

I had a massage with Perla and she was amazing! I asked for her to work on my neck and lower back and she executed that wonderfully. Her pressure and professionalism was exceptional. read more

I waited to write this review in hope that things would change for the better. Location: 6/10 centrally located but parking can be a nightmare Front desk: 8/10 usually very pleasant, local manager is helpful Massage therapists: 2/10 every now and again they have good ones but it's a revolving door for them and they end up leaving. Wanapa and Rikki were amazing but both gone. Rocio who is there currently is very good but reliability is poor. Multiple appointments have been cancelled last minute so it seems like employee reliability and them not have back up therapists to cover callouts in definitely a negative. And though they like us to confirm our appointments 48 hours in advance they have cancelled on me 3 hours before an appointment. We are penalized for late cancellations so it only seems fair that they are as well, maybe a free add on or whatever each time our appt cancels. I'm sad that this location is going down the tubes but I see why they only have 2.8 stars whereas the Lemon Grove location has 4.5 stars. I will be taking my business and referrals elsewhere and trying the Lemon Grove location as I can't count on the Eastlake location for appointments. read more

Making a reservation online is quick and easy. Seeing individual therapist availability for services is awesome in near real-time. 5/5 stars. Problem for me is that I have two accounts associated with my phone number and they have not been able to combine them, which causes problems for me in the system. 2/5. Martha is super nice, and uses her elbows to work out the knots. 4/5. Eastlake location is nice and convenient, even though the complex has been getting more popular (and crowded) lately. 4/5. I have to knock this Eastlake location down because they seem to need more good therapist availability. I often drive out to Rancho San Diego and Lemon Grove because of therapist availability. (Lemon Grove is the best and almost always has availability. I realize it may be because their lease is cheaper and they can afford the staff overhead. But at the end of the day, that's the cost of doing business.) 1/5. Overall I think a membership might be worth it if you find a good therapist who matches your needs and your availability. Overall 3/5. read more

Good therapist are hard to find. And once found they don't last. They keep moving their personal and most times it's hard to make an appointment. Lately after my complain they've been calling me and are having more availability. read more

I usually don't give reviews or bad reviews at all but I just have to put this out there. Back story, I have been with massage envy since I started in Virginia probably 12 years ago. Iv had issues before with cancellation but not this much cancellation from this location. I have had I think 3 cancellations from them for my services and given the 30 min call prior to my appointment. It's very disappointing that you are paying monthly for their services and you can't even use it. Today was the last straw and I decided that I will use all my 19.5 credits and let this run out and I will cancel my services and I will take it somewhere. Thank you massage envy from your loyal customer read more

my husband and i have been coming to this eastlake location for almost a decade now. if not because of our un-used points and our nice masseur/masseuse and aesthetician, my husband and i will cancel our membership right now! that's how bad i am upset right now. daylene the front desk assistant was soooo rude! i was looking for a manager to complain about her rudeness and does not fit to be in the front desk to assist current active customer who pay! i was standing there right in front of her waiting to be check in since i only had 3 minutes left, she was on the phone, she can always ask the person she was talking to put on hold to assist a customer in front of her! when i asked if i can check in since i only have 1 minute left to my appointment, she had a nerve to tell me, "can't you see i am on the phone?" whose by the way have no account or membership with them! seriously?! is that how you treat your member customer? i should consider joining that legal action against massage envy for members who wanted to cancel and get re-imburse for unused paid credit! soooo disappointed! read more

Don't bother booking here. The worst. After calling in getting confirmation, giving credit card info , etc. We get there and the assistance manager says no you have no appointment. "Well,, Gloria is not here today and we have no other person available. You have no appointment" what? How? That's it. No apology, no manner of making it up, no call , nothing. They don't care. You always get the "assistant manager" with the attitude who also does not care at all. This place is a joke. read more

I have come to this location twice now and each time the staff has been kind and welcoming. Martha was my therapist on both visits. She focused on my tension areas, my neck and shoulders. I left feeling very relaxed! read more

Worst massage ever, after asking for more pressure it was like a gentle body rub, left feeling no better than when I arrived except frustrated, the guy only used one hand for the whole massage which was 50 minutes not 60. Complete waste of time and money!!! read more

Would give it a "0" star if I could. Had a confirmed appointment at 6 pm today (2/19/25). Drove all the way over here in traffic only to find the place locked. No phone call or text to let me know my appointment was scheduled. read more

This location is in dire need of attention. One year ago I ended up in the ER and had to cancel my appointment. No leeway for someone who had been a member for years and never missed an appointment, they still charged me. For the past year I've frequented the Imperial Beach location without issue, other than it's very inconvenient and not my local store. Decided to try Eastlake again after a year of giving them time to improve. I was very much looking forward to my massage appointment today at 4:30 when at 2pm I received a call that they had to cancel. The therapist had an emergency. Pretty ironic and a reminder of why I don't attempt to go here. Hopefully someone from their corporate office will see how horrible their reviews are and do something to turn this Eastlake location around. read more

As Holidays are stressful sometimes I went to this location for a body massage paid with a gift card, in order to receive a discount you have to fill out a long form if you are lucky to receive via email. In the mild time they keep charging you. read more

WE LOVE A $255 CHARGE!! Liked how convenient this location was to me, but rethinking who I'll be going to now. I called months ago in regards to freezing my account and was told to come in and sign off that I'll be doing so.. so I did just that. The following month I received a call on my typical billing date because my payment did not go through (my cards were turned off as I was out of the country for work hence why I froze my account ) and I said I already came in and my account should already be frozen. I explained my situation to the girl I was speaking with and she said that she would notate my account and not to worry about it. Fast forward to today, no notes on my account! Just a $255 charge and a suspended account. *Also love how there's been no follow-up call in regards to my situation. read more

Omg! I needed this so bad! The staff at Massage Envy in Eastlake were very friendly and welcoming. After checking me in, I was directed to the tranquillity room where I waited for Armando to escort me to the back. I waited a total of 2 mins. Once in the room, Armando asked me what part of the body I wanted to focus on. I'll admit, Armando seemed a little timid when we spoke at first. I was skeptical but I was quickly proven wrong! Armando got to work immediately! He knows exactly what he's doing. His hands were like butter on a hot skillet. The pressure was firm, not quite deep tissue but firm enough. I'll definitely be back and booked with Armando! read more

I was scheduled (2/29) for a 90 minute massage with Alfredo. I arrived on time and was checked in by a young woman whom I found out later was the assistant manager. She told me Alfredo was finishing up with a customer and would be with me soon. I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes and after be there for approximately five minutes, I let her I needed to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom it was occupied, so I returned to the waiting room. At 10:13, I know this because I looked at my watch, I thought I'd try to go to the bathroom again, so that when Alfredo was ready for me it would not cut into any more of my time. After I finished in the bathroom, it was approximately 10:20, I started to return to the waiting room when I walked passed an open massage door room. I saw a man in the massage room preparing the room for the next person, I assumed he was Alfredo, so I asked him if he was. He affirmed he was and then I introduced myself as his next client. Alfredo invited me into the massage room and I proceed discussing the areas I needed him to concentrate on during my massage. He left me to get undress and then he entered to begin my massage. Alfredo finished my massage at 11:25, so I got dressed and went to the front counter to check out. I asked the young woman that had initially checked me in if I had been scheduled for a 60 minute or 90 minute massage, she told me 90 minutes. I told her that I didn't actually a receive 90 minute massage but a 60 minute instead. She disagreed with me telling me I did. Thinking she confused me with another client, I reminded her what she told me when I walked in and but she insisted that I was checked in at 10:00 and the Alfredo previous client checked out at 10:00. I attempted to explain to her that my appointment was delayed because Alfredo wasn't ready for me, but she disagreed. After realizing this dispute was not going any where, I asked to speak to the manager, it was at this point she told me she was the assistant manager. I then asked her for her name and her response was, "no I'm not going to give it to you." I told her I had been a customer at this location for more than 10 years and I'd never had a problem.. After saying this I asked her again for her name and her response was the same. So I took out my camera and took a picture of her. After taking one picture of her she asked me not to take her picture, but I snapped a couple more pictures with her hand covering her face. She told me she was going to call security and I told her I was willing to wait. She picked up the phone as if she was going to call, and at the same time she asked me to leave. I was quite upset at this point, but seeing that this confrontation was not serving a purpose I left. This young lady was extremely rude and confrontational in her efforts to dispute what actually happened. I have been a long time customer at this location. I've been a regular customer at this location since the Massage Envy in Terre Nova closed. After what happened today, I will not be returning to this location. read more

I have been a massage envy member for a while now. Recently moved to Chula Vista so was glad to know there was a massage envy near by. My massage therapist Martha did a great job in helping me relax and release the discomfort I have been experiencing. I will definitely be going back again soon. read more

Called to cancel appointments due to positive COVID test result that morning and I was called back and told that they would be adhering to store policy and I would be losing my credits. I told him I was being courteous by not exposing the staff and customers to COVID and he insisted on adhering to the policy. I told him that I should not lose my credits over this and he would not budge. So I told him I'd see him for my appointments! Poor customer service! read more

I have been a member of Massage Envy for many years. This is my first time at the Eastlake location, and unfortunately, I do not plan on going back. I received a 90 minute facial from Corinne, and my experience was not what I was expecting. She was not personable, used gloves, and was extremely light on my face. She did not use any pressure at all and I left the massage the same way I went in. read more

I was a happy client at Massage Envy for about a year. I went in one day and told the front desk staff that I needed to cancel my membership and I asked how many hours I had left and when they had to be used by. I then scheduled the final massages and said (I thought) goodbye for now to Massage Envy. Sadly I do not check my online statement as regularly as I should (lesson learned) but eventually I noticed that I was still being billed monthly. I called and spoke to someone at the front desk. She said she could see in the notes that I had cancelled and that I had come often to use up the hours. She said there was a note that someone was going to call to offer me an incentive to stay and because of that my cancellation had not been put through. She assured me that she'd have a manager call. The manager assured me that the owner would call me (after their weekly Friday meeting). Nothing. I called again and spoke to another manager. She said my account still wasn't cancelled and she would refund that month's charge and have the owner call. The owner never called despite numerous requests from me. The manager mentioned that the owner lives in a different time zone and maybe that was the problem. The manager was pleasant so I kept my eye roll and thoughts about basic math to myself. I see at least one other person leaving a review had the same problem. The owner has stolen hundreds of dollars from me. I envy the people who went elsewhere for a massage. read more

Last thursday I was shopping at the Eastlake Village shopping center and I decided to walk into Massage Envy and see what there memberships were and if it's something I could afford. Lexi was the front desk and she was super sweet and very excited to talk to me about the membership she gave me a brochure and told me about their options. I decided to think about it and talk to my husband but she definitely gave me alot of information that was super helpful and made me feel important. She told me she was new but handled it like a pro. I definitely recommend Eastlake Massage Envy and I think Lexi totally belongs to be up there and the first face you see when you walk in! read more

I'm a pre-paid member with about 10 services left to use. Today, I was unable to make my facial appointment and thought I would be able to transfer it to a friend only to discover that I couldn't, 'because it's a Member appointment'. My friend was there at the location ready to go and was turned away without services. I left Church and went to the location hoping to resolve this issue and was truly disappointed that they were unwilling to accommodate her. We were unable to speak to a Manager and Sirin at the front desk called security. This was so unnecessary and a poor way to treat 'A Member' and a potential member! Overall I would give services here an average rating of 3, but the customer service is bad. I have experienced these ladies checking in the wrong person on two occasions and even allowed someone to use an appointment that was not scheduled for them. So when Amy came in they politely told her that 'Joe' is taking your message. Amy was like, 'Who is Joe?' and when she became upset. They asked her to leave. I have not returned here since. So disappointing. read more

I'm always a bit skeptical with massage places because I've had such bad experiences before but this was hands down The best massage I've gotten! Martha focused on all my pain points and even went over some knots. I suffer with vertigo and she was very accommodating always making sure I was comfortable every position and even gave me tips -I've never felt more relaxed. Definitely recommend this place and Martha! read more

After being a member for 24months I came in to buy a product (65$) and asked for a sample and they gave it to me but the quantity was just disrespectful.

This place is a dumpster fire. Showed up this morning at 1000 to a locked door and chaos. The service on multiple fronts is simply not good. I'm cancelling and would encourage others to do so. You get a massage to relax not deal with drama...this place is drama! read more

Rosio, my massage therapist was great, the rest of the experience was a nightmare!! I had booked a massage one month in advance only to be called the week before saying that the therapist was no longer there. (She had left at least three weeks earlier I knew from posts I had seen on Facebook). They couldn't reschedule me for the same day or even the same week when I tried to reschedule with a certain therapist. Alan said oh no, you don't want to book with her she's too unreliable. I rebooked with someone else. I got to the spa, checked in, took my seat and waited. Apparently my therapist came out and took another woman by mistake. Then they couldn't find anyone to do my massage. Finally I ended up with Rosio, who I had asked for in the first place, (and was told she was too unreliable). Unbelievable what a s--t show. read more

I scheduled an appointment during this pandemic, I rescheduled my appointment after hours but left message. They kept my credit and now I paid out of my own money and they say credit expired. Thats stealing.. they didn't even try to accommodate. Where is your customer service. I moved am hour away and got covid and these people have no consideration, that I canceled for everyone's safety. I could've gone in there and they would've never known Bad customer service read more

I come here mainly when doing some shopping at sprouts or trader joes, but I've also been to several of the restaurants and a few other businesses here. A very clean area, the parking lot is in the middle with all the shops going around in a big "U" . There's music playing in the background by the storefronts. I don't really think this is a place to go and browse around. I would only go here if you are going to a specific store/business/restaurant. read more

I woke up this morning all excited about getting a massage because I've been under a lot of stress. I get to my 11 o'clock appointment five minutes ahead of time to fill out the necessary paperwork. The guy who greeted me was very friendly and courteous. After that I was greeted by this guy who instantly did not like. , he wasn't really too friendly and I clearly wrote I wanted my neck shoulders and head worked on with the last emphasis of my feet. He pretty much worked on my back and my lower back and I had to end it after already telling him once before because he was hurting me. He said he was just trying to get a knot out but it was in the same spot over and over and I'm not gonna let somebody abuse my body over and over. At this point in time I knew I was going to have a bad experience I wasn't comfortable. I wasn't relaxing my stress level was higher. I continued to let him massage me and I should have actually stopped him sooner because I couldn't even get up from the bed to put my shorts on. I could barely walk. I'm in a lot of pain and I made an appointment for 2 PM for another girl to take care of me so we will see if she can help this out. it's 11:42 AM right now I don't know if I'll be able to come back at two because I'm barely waking. I'm just so disappointed with his customer service and his skills. I told him clearly from the beginning that I needed medium to low pressure because I'm under a lot of stress, I don't think he heard anything I said or read the form that I filled out on the iPad as well explaining what I needed. I really appreciate my friend who gave me this massage to use to relax me and unstress me. I'm sure once I make it back the girl will be able to assess my pain or comfort so that I can try and relax. As of now I am into much pain to even walk. You can look at the videos when I walked in I was not like this and look at the videos when I left how I was walking. After only 20 minutes of this torture. Revised and if you look I gave 3 stars from the beginning instead of 1 when most reviews are kept at. read more

I joined the Membership. I was charged $70 per month. There were several times that I was unable to use them monthly so the money built up. I spent months taking care of my mom with stage four cancin Kalispell, MT. I had built up so much credit when I got home I started getting facials twice a month. I even transferred my facials to my daughter to use. I just got back in town and went to make an appointment. They said it was too late to use the last $140 I had left. Pissed me off. I lost the money and they wouldn't budge. I'm very angry and I will never use Massage envy again. I have to problem with the staff. My bitch is with Corporate. I promise to tell everyone I can not to do a membership. I feel ripped off for$140!! Thanks for nothing! I can get facials anywhere. Too bad your loosing my business and the business of those I know!! read more

Update of previous comment- Manager called and verified the error then compensated for the negative experience. Thank you.

Walked around here after we had dinner. There is a small playground for the little kids to play in and little ponds with fish that swim in it. There were signs that were posted saying Do not feed the fish. There were many stores around this area including Trader Joe's, TJ Max, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and a few other other restaurants. This is a cute shopping center. I just don't like the parking set up in this shopping center. I haven't been here in so long cause I know parking is so bad. Weekends is the most busiest times to come here. Weekdays are not so bad. There were plenty of tables throughout this location. I like how you can just sit down and relax. Very cool place to walk and just hang out. read more

The phone experience we had today with a very nice lady, was so explanatory of why their yelp ratings are so low. While the girl was extremely friendly, it did not change the fact that she told me she had an opening for a massage at noon then retracted the entire appointment when she found out that I was gifting it. She fed me some line about members complaining about nonmembers taking their appointments? Like would anyone actually believe that the clients in there go around asking other clients if they're members or non members? That's utterly absurd. I assure you she has no idea how absurd that sounds and I assure you that she feeds that line to people ALL day long and they consistently believe it. Well listen here massage envy of Eastlake I'm a paying customer that happens to have 27 hours banked and whether I want to use it or gift it is my business! If I'm gifting it to someone and you telling me my gift to that someone is somehow not important then I'm canceling my membership. read more

I'm leaving a positive review; I've had nothing but good experiences with my massages & masseuse; booking is easy and everyone at the front desk is helpful. Having the Massage Envy app on my phone is really helpful too to remember future appointments and book on my own. If you get the membership it's a 1-year "contract" and it's hard to cancel if you read the fine details. It even shows in the contract that the 1-hour time allotted does subtract some time to change in & out of clothes; you can't cancel if you move unless you're 25+ miles from another Massage Envy location and any accrued massages have to be used before a certain period when you end your contract. I think it's reasonably priced for a good massage & ambience and the additional price cut for extra massages throughout the month vs. regular spas where massages can run up to $95 to $150. Getting a monthly massage is a big self-care priority for me and Massage Envy makes it easy to hold myself to that commitment. It also helps that it's next to Sprouts & Trader Joes finish an errand before or after my massage! read more

I appreciate Massage Envy for their prices. Unfortunately you have to become a contracted member to enjoy the best rates, however I am happy to hear they have introduced shorter terms - as few as 3 months. The Eastlake location is welcoming and has a pleasant waiting room. The staff is more than interested to make you feel relaxed upon entering the door. They offer a glass of water and if you like you can wait in the secondary waiting room, which is more peaceful away from other guest checking. I've always been a client of James because he uses medium to heavy pressure which I like. I find him to be skilled in knowing which areas need more work. Although its no spa this is a solid place to visit for a massage and to get your money's worth. At some point I will try the facials. read more

I went in for a facial about 2 weeks ago. My experience was great-from speaking and booking with James to my appointment with Ricki! She has such a gentle touch and she really listened to my concerns. My skin still looks great! Thank you Ricki!!! read more

My masseuse was very helpful in providing me relief during a prenatal massage. That's why 2 stars instead of 1. My 1st time there I scheduled a 90 massage. Upon arrival I was informed they booked it wrong and the only available masseuse did not do 90 min massages. This was upsetting due to prenatal complications I had been having in hips and glutes. Asked to speak with a manager, none was on sight, and I was promised a call back but never received one. 2nd time there they did not have any water cups. No water before or after the massage. Still no manager on site. 3rd time, you may ask why am I still going there. The masseuse does a great job at relieving the tension where I need. However, I'm pretty sure this was my last visit to the site. Upon arrival for my 90 min massage I was informed they once again booked my prenatal massage wrong and there was no available masseuse to complete my appointment. After a few exchanges and my warranted frustration they asked another customer to switch masseuse to allow my prenatal massage. Luckily for me the gentleman was very kind and switched with no problem. How unprofessional!!! After the massage no manager onsite to speak with again and several days later no call back no follow up. Between the lack of professionalism and run around with mistakes they've made I am left very disappointed in this chain. I have been a member for several years, and have visited multiple locations, I have never had such a poor experience before. Really tarnishes the brand massage envy for me. read more
